Pre-text and post-text dimensions are very large after migration.

Pre-text and post-text dimensions are very large after migration. Description of problem:

Dimensions that have a pre-text are much larger when migrated to NX.

How to reproduce the problem:

Set the system up so it is using both of the following changes:

  1. Use libugplmxmldrawmigr.dll ;

We have to use this DLL file because of the scale of the main view in original ideas drawing are not 1:1, customer want to have same scale after migrated to NX.

  1. change the cmmoptions.xml file < for PR2121622>;

Change "unique="DrawingFailuresAsWarnings" value=""

To "unique="DrawingFailuresAsWarnings" value="3043"

If we do not change this value, the dimensions we migrated are not editable, customer want double click the dimension to edit in NX, so we have to change this value. This is the workaround for PR2121622.

Then use the following steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Import the attached drawing into I-deas and review the dimensions with only pre-text.

  2. Migrate the drawing to NX and review the pre-text dimensions. The size is much larger.

Workaround:

Edit the size when in NX, but this is very cumbersome for the user because there are a lot of these dimensions.

Windows XP TC2007.1.7b, CMM 6.0.2, and NX 6.0.4.3 with hotfix mentioned and the change to the cmmoption.xml file
